Do you mean the snowflakes like this:

If so, then they did that last year on all promos.
Aren't the stars transitions on ITV for Text Santa?

Some good stuff which makes it even more annoying they'll play out the same shows as ever on Christmas Day. Just moving Sherlock forward a week (surely deserving of a Christmas night slot) and perhaps putting Doctor Who on Boxing Day and Call the Midwife on the Sunday would just make it feel so much fresher and give them strong anchors to the schedule over the weekend too, though without seeing the rest of the schedule not sure how they'd fill New Years Day.
A schedule of Strictly at 6.15pm, EastEnders at 7.30pm and Sherlock at 8.30pm, with Mrs Brown's Boys at 10pm, would be very tricky for ITV to counter schedule too.

I don't want to see Sherlock on Christmas Day at all. I never have the time or inclination on Christmas Day to tell the whole family to shut up to sit through ninety minutes or two hours of complicated drama. I don't think many other people do as well. People watch telly on Christmas Day in a very different way they do the rest of the year, and things on Christmas Day need to be extremely brash or extremely familiar to work. Doctor Who is good because it's a spectacle and appeals to the whole family, in a way Sherlock doesn't. I don't think Call The Midwife fits either, but there you go.
Anyway, outside of 'stEnders the primetime programme that's been on Christmas Day the longest is Doctor Who, which will be on its eleventh Christmas Day. You may wish to compare this to Morecambe and Wise (eleven Christmas Days across two channels), The Generation Game (fourteen Christmas Days) and Only Fools and Horses (fourteen Christmas Days). And those were shows that became more cherished and more loved with their familiarity. Let alone the fact nobody remembers what was on Christmas Day last year anyway.
That's in addition to the fact that they constantly ring the changes with new films and new animations, and that in the last decade they have innovated hugely, putting Gavin and Stacey on Christmas Day just eighteen months after it had been on BBC3. Meanwhile ITV don't just show the same series, they also frequently show the same films as well.
People like the familiar at Christmas, because it's Christmas. I don't decide to have Christmas dinner or open my presents on Boxing Day to shake things up, why should BBC1 have to move stuff around if it's still doing the business for them (which it is)? As you say there's loads of interesting stuff on, so record some of that and watch that on Christmas Day. For many people, me included, Christmas Day is the least convenient day to watch television over Christmas.

But New Year's Day is an enormous telly day, it's the one day of the year that absolutely nobody goes out so you can get massive, massive audiences there. It's a brilliant slot, one of the very best you can have.
Considering it's Victorian gothic horror theme I think the Sherlock Special would've been perfect for Christmas Eve. Jan 1st is fine for a series launch but odd scheduling for a Christmas special of one of their absolute biggest shows.

Well, true. I'm not denying it is't a plum slot but when have the BBC ever aired their biggest Christmas highlight on New Years Day? Christmas Eve to Boxing Day has traditionally been when the highest profile shows aired. I'm by no means outraged i'm just saying it's a tad suprising and unprecedented.

Did I completely miss the "premiere" of the old Coca Cola advert this year, or hasn't it happened yet?

No, I've seen it on TV. They've edited it to include another new endboard, similar to the one they've been using this year (with the four silhouetted Coke bottles) and unfortunately have cropped the footage to 16:9.
